Snap-on container

Abstract

A container comprising a neck defining an opening and configured to removeably engage an attachable spray nozzle assembly. A shoulder is disposed adjacent to the neck. A hollow main body having a wall extends between the shoulder and a closed base to define an internal space for receiving and storing a fluid. The wall defines two hollow arm portions forming a substantially U-shaped longitudinal groove extending between the shoulder and the base. The groove is configured to receive and grip a handle of a cleaning tool. A section of material is disposed within the groove and has a higher coefficient of friction than the wall. A kit including the container and the cleaning tool is also provided. The container in combination with the cleaning tool is also provided.

1 . A container comprising:
 a neck defining an opening and configured to removeably engage an attachable spray nozzle assembly;   a shoulder disposed adjacent to the neck;   a hollow main body having a wall extending between the shoulder and a closed base to define an internal space for receiving and storing a fluid, wherein the wall defines two hollow arm portions forming a substantially U-shaped longitudinal groove extending between the shoulder and the base, the groove being configured to receive and grip a handle of a cleaning tool; and   a section of material disposed within the groove, the section of material having a higher coefficient of friction than the wall.   
   
   
       2 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the groove extends from the shoulder to the base. 
   
   
       3 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the section of material is formed of a soft rubber material. 
   
   
       4 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the section of material circumscribes an outer surface of the wall. 
   
   
       5 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the wall of the hollow main body includes a recess around an outer periphery thereof, the section of material being disposed within the recess and circumscribing an outer surface of the wall. 
   
   
       6 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the container is made of a plastic material. 
   
   
       7 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the attachable spray nozzle assembly comprises a trigger and a spray nozzle. 
   
   
       8 . A kit comprising:
 a cleaning tool having a handle; and   a container comprising:
 a neck defining an opening and configured to removably engage an attachable spray nozzle assembly; 
 a shoulder disposed adjacent to the neck; 
 a hollow main body having a wall extending between the shoulder and a closed base to define an internal space for receiving and storing a fluid, wherein the wall defines two hollow arm portions forming a substantially U-shaped longitudinal groove extending between the shoulder and the base, the groove being configured to receive and grip a handle of a cleaning tool; and 
 a section of material disposed within the groove, the section of material having a higher coefficient of friction than the wall. 
   
   
   
       9 . The kit of  claim 8 , wherein the groove extends from the shoulder to the base. 
   
   
       10 . The kit of  claim 8 , wherein the section of material is formed of a soft rubber material. 
   
   
       11 . The kit of  claim 8 , wherein the section of material circumscribes an outer surface of the wall. 
   
   
       12 . The kit of  claim 8 , wherein the wall of the hollow main body includes a recess around an outer periphery thereof, the section of material being disposed within the recess and circumscribing an outer surface of the wall. 
   
   
       13 . The kit of  claim 8 , wherein the container is made of a plastic material. 
   
   
       14 . The kit of  claim 8 , wherein the attachable spray nozzle assembly comprises a trigger and a spray nozzle. 
   
   
       15 . A combination comprising:
 a cleaning tool having a handle; and   a plastic container comprising:
 a neck defining an opening and configured to removably engage an attachable spray nozzle assembly; 
 a shoulder disposed adjacent to the neck; 
 a hollow main body having a wall extending between the shoulder and a closed base to define an internal space for receiving and storing a fluid, wherein the wall defines two hollow arm portions forming a substantially U-shaped longitudinal groove extending between the shoulder and the base, the groove gripping the handle of the cleaning tool; 
 a section of material disposed within the groove, the section of material having a higher coefficient of friction than the wall. 
   
   
   
       16 . The combination of  claim 15 , wherein the groove extends from the shoulder to the base. 
   
   
       17 . The combination of  claim 15 , wherein the section of material is formed of a soft rubber material. 
   
   
       18 . The combination of  claim 15 , wherein the section of material circumscribes an outer surface of the wall. 
   
   
       19 . The combination of  claim 15 , wherein the wall of the hollow main body includes a recess around an outer periphery thereof, the section of material being disposed within the recess and circumscribing an outer surface of the wall.
